Ralph Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Pantera - A New Level Heavy metal so not everyone's cup of tea, but I find it uplifting. YOTH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 No, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but that's OK. I went through a phase back in high school when I listened to a lot of heavy metal. In fact I think I kind of memorized one of Pantera's albums...Strength Beyond Strength, I think? A few guy friends of mine have tried to get me interested in some heavy metal popular today, and it's just not happening. They don't seem as good, and besides, I'm not just not the heavy metal type anymore. Something in me has shifted. Back in high school, heavy metal was really good for me, because I was really angry back then and it gave me a way to digest my anger, I think...sort of express it vicariously. I'm not saying that's true for everyone, but that's how it was for me, and I think it was therapeutic, in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 @Ralph: you might enjoy this. It's a heavy metal band with an African Gray parrot as the lead vocalist. No joke!: You can hear him screeching at random moments in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Lush were such a beautiful band, shoegaze all ways gets me through...Another cool band I'd never heard of, although I bet I should've. I'm digging the 90's special effects... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiting Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I don't think this is uplifting, but i think it is an amazing video that demonstrates how we are surrounded by so many people that have problems like us and yet we never realize it. It shows that our perception of being alone is an illusion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pudOFG5X6uAI will warn you. It will likely make you cry.

smallstar Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not a video but I'm really liking this song Bleed Red / Ronnie DunnLet's say were sorry, before it's too late, give forgiveness a chanceTurn the anger into water; let it slip through our handsWe all bleed red, we all taste rain, all fall down, Lose our way,We all say words we regret, we all cry tears, we all bleed redIf we're fighting, we're both losing; we're just wasting our timeBecause my scars, they are your scars and your world is mineYou and I, we all bleed red, we all taste rain, we all fall down, lose our wayWe all say words, we regret, well cry tears, we all bleed redSometimes we're strong, sometimes we're weak, sometimes we're hurt and it cuts deepWe live this life, breath to breath, we're all the same; we all bleed red------------------------------------------------------------------------------Isn't it so true? I have always thought that, that I am you and you are me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I thought I would contribute and comment XD It's on youtube sorry Malign it's Elvis Presley's Hawaiian wedding song. P.s. who is Ronnie Dunn we have the same last name??? Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malign Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Mr. Google had this to say about Ronnie Dunn.Why apologize to me about Elvis, seddy? Of course, he was before my time (by a few years) ... Oh, it was an apology about YouTube ... Well, some day I'll get online at home (still have to hook up the stupid cable ...), and then I'll be able to YouTube to my heart's content (which I somehow think won't take long.) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrmaJean Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have to post a song by my favorite singer, Josh Groban. His voice is wonderfully soothing and inspirational to me, though certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I loved the addition of the choir to the song.

Endlessnight Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Love Josh!!! Whenever I watch a video of him singing, I think of angels. I'm sure he is one! Thank you IrmaJean for posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke!: You can hear him screeching at random moments in the background. Nice. The time signature changes didn't work for me, but several thousand points for originality. I'm really too old to be into metal but it fits my mood most of the times and I actually feel better after listening to it, kind of a catharsis effect.

Endless, here's another Josh video for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GUAmR9QlXI Maybe we can get the ninja rescue thingy going again and escape to a concert. This has to be one of my all-time favorite songs. Absolutely love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flander Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 While I like metal, I tend to favor older music. or at least what sounds like the old stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gayle Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have some catching up to do! @Waiting: I have always LOVED that song by REM. A lot of their music seems very real.@Smallstar: and “Bleed Red” also taps into universality in kind of the same way. There’s something therapeutic about being reminded that there’s people out there like you. @sedsed: that Elvis song reminds me of selling televisions. The store played the same video over and over again and that song always accompanied the footage of Hawaii. I guess that’s pretty funny. @malign: DEFINITELY acquire the means to access YouTube. How’s that joke go? I’ll youtube your myspace if you google my yahoo. haha@IrmaJean: He has an amazingly resonant voice…@pseudome: I’ve been addicted to the Killers for a while, especially that song. Now that I’m studying counseling, I realizing it could be describing the feeling of being a client…all the powerful transference, guilt and the confessional nature of the client-counselor relationship, how it can be extremely emotionally taxing on a counselor and how the person being focused on is so very needy. …Or maybe I just need to get my nose out of my books.And I’m totally adding Foster the People to my library!@pseudome, again: It seems like you would be qualified to know—which Tool song actually contained the Fibonacci sequence? @IrmaJean: I don’t think I’ve ever really listened closely to “Bride Over Troubled Water” before. The lyrics describe a beautifully close relationship. It could be spiritual, romantic, or clinical.@Flander: That was sweet. I really liked Anita’s voice... And yeah, they don’t show that kind of thing on MTV much anymore. Hee. I like the video of the second one a lot. It’s simple, but effective… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
